Dean Weingarten has a good find at Ammoland.
Judge Eduardo Ramos, the U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, has issued an Opinion & Order that a ban on stun guns is constitutional. A New York State law prohibits the private possession of stun guns and tasers; a New York City law prohibits the possession and selling of stun guns. Judge Ramos has ruled these laws do not infringe on rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

It was a bloody fight and the biker gang planned and fought with military efficiency. Yeah, I’ll bet they did. The Cartel lost > 300 shooters that day on an Arizona road.
So here’s a question for you. Why were > 300 cartel shooters in a convoy in Arizona? Why did we retire the A-10 when it could have taken these cartel members out in an instant?
Here’s another question for you. Why haven’t we declared China and Mexico to be enemies of America?
Going over the timeline in his head, Harakal figured it had only been a few hours between the time the pheasant hunter found the deer and when he walked up on it. Unsure of what to do, he called back one of his friends, who encouraged him to report it to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Harakal tried calling but didn’t get an answer as he walked back to his truck.
“I was just going home at that point. And I decided my season’s done. I’m not hunting for the rest of the year.”
Back at home, Harakal was about to hop in the shower when he got a call back from a PGC game warden. He shared the full story with the warden and agreed to meet him at the deer, and then he drove back to Shenango Lake for a fourth time.
Harakal still had the bone fragments in his pocket, and when they got to where the deer was still laying, he showed the game warden the missing puzzle piece. He said he still couldn’t believe someone had robbed him of the biggest buck he’d ever killed.
“The game warden tells me, ‘This is like one-in-a-million chances, but that is definitely your deer. And I don’t even know how to tell you this. But it’s our policy that when something like this happens, we cut the rack off.’”
The game warden then led Harakal back to his own truck, where he pulled the two antlers off his backseat and handed them over. He explained how the pheasant hunter had called the agency after finding the 8-point buck, and that he was just following standard procedure when he confiscated the antlers. Then he helped Harakal drag the buck out of the field.
Why is it your standard procedure to confiscate the antlers? Why do you believe they belong to you? How do you know “fair chase” is over at the point you ruin the game with a saw?
Chinese entities have been acquiring land in key locations near U.S. military bases, sparking national security concerns about possible spying — or even a potential attack.
Former national security official David Feith laid out the potential risk in an interview with 60 Minutes. Feith worked on U.S.-China policy for the State Department in the first Trump administration, and until April, worked in Trump’s second administration on the National Security Council. While there, he grew increasingly alarmed by where China owns America’s farmland.
“The ability to own large tracts of land, especially close to sensitive U.S. military and government facilities, can pose an enormous problem given the nature of technology today, which is that hostile actor from all across the world can very easily exploit access to land, access to buildings and warehouses, access just to a shipping container or two and do enormous damage, either in intelligence terms or in military terms,” Feith told 60 Minutes.
Only a society that is sick unto death and desires its own destruction would give away the farm to its declared enemy.
That’s American politicians and bureaucrats for you. Sick unto death, desiring the destruction of America.
I deny the premise. There is no sanity from anyone on the left. However, one comment to the article says it all.
“VA Republican voters didn’t bother to vote. Numbers were down 30% over last year. Live with the misery. Don’t want to hear any whining, either. You did it to yourselves.”
I know the mantra. You can’t vote your way out of the mess. But you can sure vote your way into it if you’re lazy enough. And gun owners are just lazy enough to do that.
Or just not to show up to vote at all. That’s the same thing as voting for gun control.
In May, during Georgia’s spring turkey season, a 16-year-old hunter was charged with a felony for shooting a gobbler on his family’s property that his former high-school teacher claimed was her pet. Although the investigation that prompted the aggravated animal cruelty charge took less than a week, the ensuing legal case dragged on for nearly six months and divided the small-town community of Waverly Hall, where the incident took place.
That all came to a close Tuesday during a trial in juvenile court, where a Harris County judge found the teen hunter not guilty of the felony charge.
Because juvenile cases are sealed in the state of Georgia, Outdoor Life was unable to obtain transcripts of the court proceedings. (OL will continue to keep the minor’s name confidential for this same reason.) The teenager’s family has so far been unwilling to comment on the trial, aside from sharing the judge’s final verdict via text message. The two defense attorneys who represented the teen have also not responded to requests for comment about what transpired Tuesday.
But according to conversations with the teen’s family before the Nov. 4 trial took place, the case against the now 17-year-old hinged around two key questions: whether the turkey killed April 27 on the family’s 11-acre property belonged to the teacher and her husband; and whether the teenager knew it was their pet bird when he pulled the trigger.
In issuing his “not guilty” verdict, the juvenile court judge must have found that there was insufficient evidence to affirmatively answer those two questions, and to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the teen was guilty of a felony, aggravated cruelty to animals. (This is a step up from the misdemeanor charge, cruelty to animals. According to Georgia law, the difference is whether the individual acted with malice.)
So, while the judge’s reasoning might be unclear, his “not guilty” verdict ultimately means that there was doubt in his mind as to whether the teenager knew the bird was his teacher’s pet when he shot it.
The prosecutors and judge are idiots and don’t deserve to flip hamburgers at McDonald’s. It’s a Gobbler. The charge of animal cruelty is ridiculous, and anyone with a lick of sense would know that Gobbler’s aren’t pets. No one has a pet Gobbler. No one.
If this was your pet turkey, prove it. Show me videos of you cuddling with the bird. I dare you.
Having bought worthless shooting bags, I found this video interesting and useful regardless of whether you shoot PRS. You need good shooting bags just to sight in the rifle, or shoot bench rest very well.
Thanks for the fine and informative video Tim, and no, I don’t underestimate the .22 WMR. In fact, I love that round and think it’s very special. I especially like the chronograph data from different length barrels.
And reading the comments forced me to go back and look at the CZ models again. I knew they had some sweet .22 WMR rifles, but I think I see CZ 457 Hunter Veil in my future.
Over 20 “ill-prepared” hikers were rescued from New Hampshire’s Mount Washington after they were trapped in “full winter conditions” without the proper gear, with some developing hypothermia, according to the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
The hikers, who were rescued on Saturday by railway officials, had reached the mountain’s 6,288-foot summit, but “most had no idea that summit services would be unavailable and that the state park was closed for the season,” Andy Vilaine, the assistant general manager for the Mount Washington Cog Railway, said in a statement on Saturday.
The train was heading to the summit as normal when crew members discovered “several distressed hikers,” Vilaine said in a statement to ABC News.
Some of the hikers even admitted it was “their first hike ever,” Vilaine said.
Near the summit, temperatures on Saturday reached roughly between 15 to 18 degrees, with a wind chill anywhere between minus 5 and zero degrees, Vilaine said.
Train crew members created space “anywhere we could” for the hikers, with some even placed in locomotive cabs “with the heat on full-blast so they could start to reverse the effects of hypothermia,” Vilaine said.
Imagine being so stupid that you use Mount Washington for your first hike ever, where the record low was measured at -50 degrees F, wind speeds achieve ~ 100 MPH, the wind chill is regularly in the range of -80 to -100 degrees F, and the weather is too severe to sustain plant life at all.
I have grown to love my KUIU gear while hunting (I just decided that I was tired of being cold and wet and I deserved better), and I wouldn’t have even done that this time of the year with all of it on in layers.

Reader Georgiaboy61 mentioned the shot I pointed out in this video where my buddy made four-for-four 1000 yard shots with a .223, and I made a 1000 yard shot with a magnum (7mm PRC) on Friday. This is what that 1000 yards looks like.
It’s a long way off. The first cars are 500 yards. The 1000 yard mark is near the single car on the ridgeline. IPSC target to the right of the car.
